John connected with previous owners too, including Larry S. who still had the car’s original parts, and was a great asset. John met with Larry to collect these treasures and share stories. Larry even had the original AM radio and an 8-track player! This fulfilled John’s restoration dreams. John’s Chevelle is on its way back to its former glory!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As mentioned, along with the car came a large folder full of documentation. Registrations, receipts, loan papers, window stickers, and the Protect-O-Plate. All the owners of the car throughout the years were identified in that pile of documentation. The car spent its entire childhood in the Cullman AL area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After some time scouring Facebook, John started to find the original owners! Finding Larry S first, he called him up and had a nice conversation only to find out that after Larry restored the car, he saved all the original parts he removed! John was on a business trip to KY so on the way home he made a detour to pick up the parts he needed to restore the car back to its original condition. He spent a few hours getting to know Larry and seeing all the treasures he had in his shop as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While talking about some of the other owners John had spoken to overtime on the phone, he mentioned how Jimmy had regretted getting rid of the 8-track player and how he wished it wasn’t swapped out for an aftermarket unit. Larry paused and said, \u201cYou\u2019re in luck, I have the original right here! You want it?\u201d John went back to NC with a nice load of original 1969 Chevelle SS parts to begin the restoration process. The car will slowly be taken back to its original condition as time allows<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
